Open the Doors for Trauma Healing With EMDR 

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is a trauma resolution method. In the days, months, and years following the trauma, you may struggle to open up about your trauma and start the healing process. Experiencing a traumatic event shocks your system and has a major toll on your mental and physical health. Negative thoughts can flood your brain and result in a spike of symptoms, such as shock, denial, fear, or anxiety.

EMDR encourages your brain to resolve and reprocess traumatic events. 

Unresolved trauma can make you feel like you’re reliving a stressful or frightening event again and again. EMDR helps you safely reprocess traumatic events and memories by encouraging communication between different areas of brain that deal with trauma. This therapy modality will help eliminate a stress response when you recall the event or are exposed to triggers. 

We understand that opening up trauma can be painful. 

Healing unresolved trauma can feel like opening a wound. With EMDR, you always remain in full control of the process. If you want to slow down or take a break, we’ll respect that and move at a pace you’re comfortable with. EMDR is a unique therapy that is best introduced when you’re ready for this step in your healing journey. Your therapist will be the best judge of whether you could benefit from EMDR at this time.
